<p>As you are probably aware, there has been extensive voter
suppression and election fraud so far this year in the Democratic
Primary which makes heavy use of EVMs. If you're interested you
may read all about it at the youtube channels of Redacted Tonight
and the Sane Progressive. There are also various lawsuits going
on challenging the results in CA, NY, NJ etc etc. <br>
</p>
<p>With current technology I do not think that it is even
theoretically possible to have a completely secret electronic
ballot (Byron please weigh in if I'm wrong). More to the point,
the job of validating the voting machines' results is huge and I'm
doubtful if it could be done, other than by exit polling.<br>

For anyone interested in Electronic Voting -- one of things on which
the Special Committee on Electoral Reform will make a recommendation
in December.
As with every report from computer scientists, I expect this will
provide plenty of evidence that electronic voting is not feasible. I
hope the Committee listens...

UofW CACR: Diego F. Aranha - Security analysis of Brazilian voting
machines
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cacr.uwaterloo.ca/seminars.html">http://cacr.uwaterloo.ca/seminars.html</a>
University of Waterloo Centre for Applied Cryptographic Research
Diego Aranha is visiting Waterloo. Please join us for a seminar this
Thursday July 21 at 2:00 pm in MC6486. You can find the abstract and
Diego's bio below.
Title: Security analysis of Brazilian voting machines
Abstract: This talk presents a security analysis of the Brazilian
voting machine software based on our participation in official
restricted tests organized in 2012 by the national electoral
authority. During the event, vulnerabilities in the software were
detected and explored, with significant impact on ballot secrecy and
integrity. We present scenarios where these vulnerabilities allow
electoral fraud and suggestions to restore the security of the
affected mechanisms. We also discuss how a crowdsourcing approach was
used to partially verify the transmission of results in 2014 and
improvements for upcoming elections.
Bio: Diego F. Aranha is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of
Computing at the University of Campinas (Unicamp). He holds a PhD
degree in Computer Science from the University of Campinas and has
worked as a visiting PhD student for 1 year at the University of
Waterloo, and for 2 years as Adjunct Professor in the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Brasília. His professional
experience is on Cryptography and Computer Security, with special
interest in the efficient implementation of cryptographic algorithms
and security analysis of real world systems. Received the Google Latin
America Research Award for research on privacy and MIT TechReview's
Innovators Under 35 Brazil for his work in electronic voting.
